Publisher's summary
Chris Northup, grappling with the loss of his wife and the overwhelming responsibility of raising three young children alone, desperately needs a miracle, or at the very least, a reliable housekeeper. His children deserve a mother’s love, and he’s convinced that a marriage of convenience is the solution.
When Annie Pullman responds to his advertisement in The Matrimonial Times, she knows Chris isn’t searching for love but can’t help dreaming of romance alongside the family she’s always wanted. Though she quickly falls in love with his children, a rushed and awkward wedding casts doubt on the leap of faith she took journeying west. And as Annie finds herself falling for Chris, the unspoken weight of his grief creates a divide between them, leaving her mired in pain and uncertainty.
A child’s innocent mistake carries deadly consequences, and suddenly, the future is hanging in the balance. Is Chris destined to lose another wife, or can the chill of winter finally give way to the warmth of love?
Dive into this heartfelt Christmas story, where healing, love, and faith find a way to blossom on the sweeping plains of the Wild West.

Story
Romance can be a little complicated when you get sucked into a wormhole. Just ask high school English teacher June Flint. One little solar flare happens and suddenly you find yourself 85 years in the future. Eighty-five years from your dream job. Your ailing mother whose only companion in this world is you. Your favorite stuffed-crust pizza from DeLucia’s on Sunday nights. But when June’s cell phone inexplicably picks up a signal, she’s able to call back to the present—more specifically, four weeks before she accidentally time traveled.

And find the house has only one bed. Located under a mirrored ceiling.

After my ex-boyfriend makes me the target of a cruel online hate campaign, I know I have to get away. The last thing I expect on my trip to Sweden is a moose standing in the middle of the road—or the mysterious, bearded ranger who pulls me from my wrecked car. Now, a storm's brewing, and I'm being carried into a secluded mountain cabin by a Nordic God rippling with muscle. Inside, I'm greeted by three ridiculously hot Swedish mountain men.

Story
Beckett: If you’re reading this, well, you know the last-letter drill. You made it. I didn’t. Get off the guilt train, because I know if there was any chance you could have saved me, you would have. I need one thing from you: get out of the army and get to Telluride. My little sister Ella’s raising the twins alone. She’s too independent and won’t accept help easily, but she has lost our grandmother, our parents, and now me. It’s too much for anyone to endure. And here’s the kicker: there’s something else you don’t know that’s tearing her family apart.
